Codex Desktop: support project-level pinned conversations
What variant of Codex are you using?
App
What feature would you like to see?
Codex Desktop currently supports pinned conversations at the app/sidebar level. I would like an additional project-scoped pinning model: conversations that are pinned inside a specific project/workspace, separate from global/app-level pins.
A useful shape would be:
- Keep the existing app-level pinned conversations behavior.
- Add project-level pinned conversations that appear at the top of that project section.
- Limit project-level pins to a small number, for example up to 3 per project, so the project sidebar stays focused.
- Preserve these project pins across app restarts.
Why this matters
Projects often have a few durable operational threads: release/deploy thread, recurring QA/debug thread, project notes, or a long-running investigation. These are important within that project, but they do not necessarily belong in the global pinned list for the whole app.
Project-level pins would make it easier to keep the most useful project conversations close without turning global pins into a mixed list across unrelated workspaces.
Additional information
I searched existing Codex issues and found sidebar/history/pinned-tab-adjacent issues, but did not find an exact feature request for project-scoped conversation pins.
